PREFATORY NOTE.
The Directors of the New Gallery and the Secretary desire to tender their
most grateful thanks to Lord Carlisle and the members of the Committee for
the assistance they have afforded in organising the present Exhibition, and
for the valuable contributions, which they and other ladies and gentlemen
have made of pictures, bronzes and*other works of art.
They also wish to record their deep sense of obligation to those
who have taken a more active part in the practical organisation of the
Exhibition ; in particular to Mr. Grueber and Mr. Isidore Spielman, for their
arduous labours in the arrangement of the various exhibits and in the pre-
paration of the catalogue ; and to Mr. Sidney Colvin, Mr. Fairfax Murray, Dr.
Richter, Mr. C. H. Read, Mr. Lionel Cust, Mr. Everard Green, Mr. Laking
Mr. R. R. Holmes, Mr. Cockerell, Mr. Charles Davis, Mr. St. John Hope,
and Mr. Jenner, for the advice and assistance they have given in the
selection of the various exhibits.
Vlll
Prefatory Note.
The Directors of the New Gallery hope next winter to complete the illus-
tration of early Italian art by an Exhibition of the arts of Venice, Padua, Verona,
Bologna and P'errara, cities which have not been represented on the present
occasion.
LEONARD C. LINDSAY,
Secretary .
Note on the Arrangement of the Exhibition. — Although no strictly chronological
order has been attempted in the placing of the pictures, an endeavour has been made to group
together artists of the same period and of the same cities : but in some instances , owing to the
exigencies of the hanging this has not been adhered to. The Committee have also considered
that it would make the section of the Printed Books more interesting if works printed in
Venice were included in the present Exhibition. In the case of works of art other than
pictures the period has been extended to the end of the 16th Century.
CATALOGUE.
The Numbers commence in the South Gallery and continue from left to right .
*** Throughout the Catalogue , in describing the pictures , the RIGHT and the
LEFT mean those of the spectator facing the picture .
The works are catalogued under the names given to them by the Contributors .
The Committee cannot be responsible in all cases for the attributions.

Nastagio degli Onesti being in love with a daughter of Paolo Traversaro has his suit
rejected, the family of the lady being nobler than his own. He accordingly leaves
Ravenna for Chiassi ; and one day, while walking disconsolately in the pine woods, sees
the apparition of a naked lady pursued by a horseman and dogs. He endeavours ineffec-
tually to defend her ; but the horseman dismounts, and, plunging his sword into her body,
tears out her heart and throws it to his dogs, who devour it. He then tells Nastagio
that she has to suffer this punishment on the same spot every Friday for her cruelty to him

a feast in the woodson the following Friday, and the same apparition then appears, to the

him ; and the wedding feast is afterwards held at Ravenna in the palace of the Traversari.

407. Pendant Enseigne or Reliquary, consisting of a cylindrical portion of an arm-
bone and mounted in a framework formed of three hoops of gold, set with
gems, and elaborately enriched with translucent enamels of the richest colours.
The bone appears in the intervals of these decorations ; at each extremity
is a convex circular plate, exquisitely enamelled, attached by a hinge so as
to close the open end of the piece of bone and forming the lid of a small
receptacle, in which a scented pastille was enclosed, probably as a precaution
against any unpleasant odour from the relic. Upon the cylinder is affixed, on a
richly jewelled base, a crucifix, with figures of the Virgin and St. John. The
figures are in full relief (lav or o di piastra ), the garments and all details elabor-
ately enamelled. On the reverse of the cross appear the emblems of the Passion,
and beneath is a medallion delicately painted, representing the Fall. To the
upper side of the framework, ending the cylinder, are attached two chains,
richly jewelled at intervals, uniting in an arched ornament at top, set with
diamonds and rubies, and having a ring by which the jewel might be suspended.
To the lower side of the cylinder it appears that three pendants, now lost, were
attached. This reliquary is perhaps unique in the beauty of the varied hues of
the enamels, for the most part translucent on relief, with which it is everywhere
enriched, and also in the perfection of the skill of the goldsmith. It may be
assigned to the commencement of the 16th century.

783. A Pastoral Staff in carved bone — 14th century.
The head of this crosier is composed as follows : — The knob is a large rhomboidal
mass, formed from a square block by cutting off the angles so as to leave four lozenge-
shaped spaces at the sides ; these are filled in with emblems of the Evangelists carved in
low relief. The shaft of the volute rises above this in the shape of a dragon’s head and
neck, with gaping mouth, from which grows the volute, enriched on the outer margin with
ten boldly projecting leaf-shaped crockets rudely carved ; the volute encloses the lamb
with the stem of a cross or banner, the upper part of which is broken away ; also in the
upper part is a dove. The extremity of the volute forms another dragon’s head, with
gaping mouth thickly set with teeth, and apparently menacing the lamb ; the head and
shaft of the crosier are diapered over with floral ornaments, rosettes, grotesque dragons,
and other animals, rather coarsely executed in surface gilding, outlined with red and black.
Other crosiers of this identical type, most likely produced in the same district and at the
same period, are still preserved ; they are apparently of north Italian origin. It is
difficult to determine their approximate date with any certainty ; it is probably, however,
later than might be at first supposed. The quasi-Byzantine style, especially marked in
the diapered ornaments painted on them, would apparently indicate the 13th or earlier
part of the 14th century ; but, judging from other details of a more modern aspect, it
seems more likely that these seemingly very ancient motives were only traditionally
retained in some remote districts.
Crosiers enclosing a lamb, with a cross in the volute, menaced by a dragon, were a
favourite type, particularly in the 12th, 13th, and 14th centuries. As a mystical emblem
of the contest of our Saviour with the evil one, this design is too obvious to require
further elucidation.

Castel Durante (?) Plate. A Cupid surrounded by masks and musical instru-

in the South Kensington Museum with the portrait of Perugino, and it is, there-
fore, probable that this plate emanates from Castel Durante rather than Urbino.

1321. Petrarca, Francesco. Rime. Canzoni distese del chiarissimo Poeta Dante
Allighieri di Firenze. Folio. Ssec. xiv. on vellum.
Written during the life-time of Petrarch, or immediately after his death, for Lorenzo
the son of Carlo degli Strozzi (a member of one of the noblest families of Florence), by
Paul the Scribe, as appears by the colophon : “ Gratissimi spetiosique hujus voluminis
adepto Jiet Laus sit et Gloria Deo qui Laurentio Karoli de Strocqis qui ipsum fieri fecit
Pauloque Scriptori ejusdem felicem tribuat vitam per tempora longiora. Amen.” The
volume is adorned with large initial letters, and three illuminated borders , containing
portraits of the Poets and their Inamoratas, executed in the style of Florentine art at that
period, with the arms of the Strozzi emblazoned in the bottom compartment of the first two.
From the colophon in which Laurentius de Strozzis is called Filius Karoli without
th € quondam, the Beatce Memories , or any other formula to the same effect, which, no
doubt, would have been used at that time in Italy, if Karolus was dead when that
colophon was written, it is clear that he was still alive at that moment ; and, as this cele-
brated Florentine died at a very advanced age in 1383, the volume was written before that
time, but how long it is difficult to ascertain. All we can say is, that Lorenzo (for whom
this volume was written) had five sisters, who, as early as the year 1331, were all nuns in
the Monastery of St. Dominic at Florence (See Litta), and no doubt he had arrived at
the age of manhood, and was quite able to collect fine books long before the year 1383.

The letterings of the names are punched not engraved. The engraving of these
maps was commenced by Conrad Sweynheym, when he retired from his association with
Pannartz. The first leaf tells us that he was employed upon them for three years, after
which he died ; and, that his work should not perish with him, it was taken up by
Buckinck, who assumes all the credit in the colophon. It is commonly said that the
Euclid of 1482 is the first book with mathematical figures, but we find here on ff. 9 and
10 woodcuts to illustrate the projection of the sphere used for the maps. It is the second
book printed with copperplate engravings, the first being the ' Mo?ite Sancto di Dio of
